Evaluation MUMIE - Online math education aerospace engineering 2010-2011

This report gives an overview of the development and experiences of using Mumie [1] at TU Delft during the academic year 2010-2011. Mumie is an e-learning platform that can be used for mathematical courses and acquired the interest of TU Delft at the beginning of 2009 in order to be used in their first years mathematical courses, in particular Linear Algebra . To see if Mumie could be successfully used at TU Delft, a pilot experiment was held under Aerospace Engineering students for a small part of the LA course. The outcome of this pilot was good, around 70% of the students recommended to use Mumie for the course, so further development of Mumie at TU Delft continued and is discussed in this report. Earlier reports on the development of Mumie at TU Delft can be found at the Mumie wiki [2]. Section 2 gives an update on the progress that has been made since the pilot. In Section 3 there is an overview of the student survey and grades for 2010/2011. Finally, in Section 4 conclusions are drawn from the survey results and student grades, together with a discussion and points of improvement for the future. Throughout this report some terms will be used that you might not be familiar with: AE the study Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft LA the Linear Algebra course at TU Delft CS the Computer Science course at TU Delft VWO this is highest level in the Dutch high school system
